Jewish activists slammed billionaire New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft for bankrolling a Super Bowl commercial against hatred – because it fails to mention the rise in antisemitism.
Kraft, who launched the Foundation to Combat Antisemitism in 2019, paid an estimated $8 million for the 30-second spot, named “No Reason to Hate,” which will air during Sunday’s game between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles.
It features former Pats great Tom Brady and rapper Snoop Dogg, who trade increasingly spiteful digs.
However, the duo avoid touching on bias faced by any specific groups, leading Jewish activists to claim Kraft fumbled the opportunity to highlight the spike in antisemitism since Hamas terrorists killed more than 1,200 in Israel on Oct. 7, 2003..
“Robert Kraft’s Foundation to Combat Antisemitism is afraid to say the word antisemitism. He all-lives-mattered it,” Samantha Ettus, a Jewish activist, told The Post...
Ettus denounced the commercial in a collaborative post with Jewish activist groups, including JewsInSchool, Antisemitism Today and Community News, a Jewish news page on Instagram.
“In the midst of the largest rise in antisemitism since World War 2, Kraft’s foundation will be airing an ad during the Super Bowl, not to combat antisemitism, but against all hate,” Ettus, a Manhattan native whose Pacific Palisades home burned down in last month’s LA wildfires, told The Post.
A spokesperson for the nonprofit defended the commercial, arguing that it supports its mission.
“The Foundation to Combat Antisemitism has been focused on combating Jewish hate and all hate since its inception in 2019,” a spokesperson for the foundation told The Post in a statement.
“A guiding principle of the Jewish people, and of our organization is ‘Tikkun Olam,’ a phrase meaning ‘repairing the world’. We have seen firsthand how one form of hate begets other forms of hate.”

No good deed goes unpunished. But at least it’s only 8 mill, so nobody will notice.
What is this fascination with Snoop Dogg? Starting with the Olympics last summer, every event, t v shows, have to have this crude, creepy dude front and center. Are they going to run him for president?
At least he showed up for Trump’s Inaugural Ball.
Krafty is in need of an illegal immigrant Asian massage
This has been going on for a looooooonnnng-ass time....hard to believe. It’s a real phenomenon. I knew things had taken a radical point of no return-turn when Martha Stewart jumped aboard.....If I had more time, I’d like to analyze it....at this point, since VERY few are even aware of his “music”
(are there any Snoop songs that come to mind?) he’s the very definition of a celebrity-—like the Kardashians-—someone “who is famous for being famous”.
So, talk to me about racism.
“Jewish” “Activists” See. It’s right there in the name. Not one well educated Jew thinks their activism is Jewish. It’s just stupid
IMO-—HE IS MUCH SMARTER THAN HE LETS ON.....
Is calling them sh!t-libs antisemetism?
Martha Stewart made Snoop Dogg OK to be around!! UGH! UGH!! UGH!!
I can tell when somebody is a liberal or if they are religious based on whether their morality has breaks. If a person can stop short of taking lives in his position, then he’s probably religious. However, if they are incapable of applying the breaks until they destroy their country, they are liberals.
Liberals are religionists without the training to stop themselves from going over the cliff.
Kraft is just trying to deflect criticism that he fired his own Black coach after just one year on the job.
Gee, just like the ADL has been doing for the past few years.
Why not a thirty second ad stressing that the Jews are G-d's Chosen People?
